Students in grades 10th through 11th take a series of rigorous and nationally-comparable assessments, including the PSAT, ACT, and WorkKeys to assist in academic planning and measure college and career readiness.

Students in grade 11 take the ACT, American College Test, which also assesses the four core academic areas and serves as an indicator of college readiness. This test is widely used for college admission and is scored on a scale of 0 to 36.

WorkKeys is a career-readiness assessment measuring reading, math, and locating information as a way to build an understanding of how to improve skills and increase prospects for securing high-demand, high-wage jobs in today’s 21st century workplace. The state will fund the WorkKeys exam for all students on a Jump Start pathway pursuing a Career Diploma.
